Nigeria is an appealing destination for some of the 2 million residents of Equatorial Guinea, thanks to its vibrant culture and beautiful landscapes. However, the overall tourist arrival numbers remain moderate, indicating that while it has attractions, it may not be a top choice for all.
Nigeria presents a higher risk for tourists compared to Equatorial Guinea. The Global Peace Index ranks Nigeria 144th out of 160 countries, while Equatorial Guinea is ranked 92nd, indicating a safer environment. Additionally, Nigeria has a murder rate of 22.0 per 100,000 people, while data for Equatorial Guinea is not available. The Global Organized Crime Index further highlights the differences in safety. Nigeria scores significantly higher in various crime categories, such as mafia groups (5.5), crime networks (9.0), and human trafficking (7.5), compared to Equatorial Guinea, which scores lower across the board (e.g., mafia groups at 1.0 and crime networks at 2.5). Overall, tourists from Equatorial Guinea should exercise caution when traveling to Nigeria due to these safety concerns.
